Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! Discharge from the vagina that is green and looks like cottage cheese, what illness could it be? No odor, no leukorrhea, and the vulva is itchy.Doctor's answer:
The vagina has a "tofu pudding" like discharge, or yellow curd-like material, which is its typical feature. Most cases are accompanied by external genital itching.Candida vaginitis is like a cold—it occurs because the fungus is parasitic in the human body, so women may experience it at some point in their lives, or it may recur frequently. Once you understand its pathology, after testing at the hospital, if you find that you have Candida, there is no need to panic, because everyone carries it—no one is immune. It's just that some people have strong immunity and don't develop symptoms.
Almost all women will suffer from more than one episode of Candida vaginitis in their lifetime (especially during pregnancy). The medical principle is: seek medical attention if symptoms occur; if there are no symptoms, it is normal.
The treatment for Candida vaginitis is very simple and there are many methods. Regardless of the method you use, gynecological ( means "" in Chinese, but I'll keep it as is since it's a technical term) is the simplest and most effective.
Buy a feminine at home and purchase "povidone-iodine" (brand name: 1% povidone-iodine solution) from a pharmacy. Dilute it 10 times with pure water and use it for vaginal.
After, you can place Daktarin suppositories, nystatin tablets, or Kanin into the vagina based on your condition.
If you also have external genital itching, you can use:
Clotrimazole cream + neomycin flunisolide cream (mixed together) applied to the vaginal opening, labia majora, and labia minora.
Generally, it takes 3–5 treatments to recover, and it can be used repeatedly.
It is best for both partners to consult the same doctor. The male partner can clean the glans and foreskin with povidone-iodine (or Shanghai medicinal soap) and then apply clotrimazole or Daktarin cream.
Kanin can provide rapid and safe treatment for "pregnancy-associated recurrent Candida vaginitis" when other medications are contraindicated.
